"A murky/muddled chestnut brown pour with a thin tan head and good splotchy lacing. Sugary cereal aroma with caramel and grass. Soft and creamy on the palate with a moderate malt body. Good tasty flavor of molasses and caramel. Grainy cereal backed by a very light peaty smoke effect. Nutty with a sharp grassy bite. Surprisingly good."

[2] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (12/6/2007 7:41:53 PM)
"500ml bottle
Pours a brilliant red-amber lager in the glass with a 1 finger frothy cap which goes to a surface foam that laces the glass well...one would think this was a Vienna by the color.
Aromas are pungent: red vienna malts with some raisin/grape skin tones, light coffee notes from black malt husks and a light waft of sweetness.
Flavor is where this shines...it crosses the line between a dunkel and a bock chewy dunkel malting with bock dark fruits and some nut and earthy tones mixing with the twiggy-woody flavors of the Hersbruckers...rich rounded body with a soft mouth feel ...dries up cleanly in the finish some black malt astringence...then a bready sweet aftertaste.
Avery drinkable and satisfying dark lager...tasty and very primal yet has some subtle complexity.
I like this one very much and wish it was available here year long."

"Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Huge caramellish malts and apple in aroma. Flavour is mainly a malt and acidic barley bomb. Slight hints of caramel, metal, ashes and dark fruits. A quite nice surprise compared to what I awaited. "

"Pours a chill hazed reddish brown, but it has an excellent head. There’s not a lot of hop aroma and I really prefer my lagers to have a nice crisp noble hop quality. There is a light maltiness, although the sweetness lacks the backup of the hops. Insipid."

[5] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/10/2007 3:42:34 AM)
"Well, this will be my second product from Jacobsen; brought to you by Carlsberg. The aroma is very malty and very bready with hints of baked bread, raisins, and some ripened grapes and is very sweet which I hope doesn't carry over to the mouthfeel and flavor. The appearance is a reddish orange to some copper when held to the light with a medium-sized head on top that only diminishes slowly to a light, off-white tan and leaves lacing on the glass. The mouthfeel is light-bodied and smooth with huge sweet malt with not much in the way of balance of anything else and has a palate that is wet-like and decent. The flavor is sweet, malty, raisiny, and a bit salty with an aftertaste that brings dark fig and plum as well some sugar and a finish that is clean, wet-like, and average but is a bit on the sweet side and is a bit astringent. Overall, not a bad offering and I am going to drink this like I am a drinking an Oktoberfest/Marzen-style because it is a bit similar; decent stuff here... "
